GERALD S. FOGARTY, OF MONTREAL, CANADA.

NECKTlE-HOLDER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 794,795, dated July 18, 1905.

Application filed December 12, 1904. Serial No. 236,621.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, GERALD S. FoeAR'rY, a subject of the King of Great Britain, residing in the city and district of Montreal, in the Province of Quebec, Canada, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Necktie-Holders; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use thesarne. This invention relates to new and useful improvements in necktie-holders; and it consists in certain features of novelty in the detail construction thereof, all as hereinaftermore fully described, and specificallypointed out in the claim.

The object of the invention is to provide a device of the character described which may be worn with a double or turn-down collar of the type shown in the drawings, so that the tie may be looped through the device before it is applied in position between the folds of the collar, and when in position the supporting means for the tie will be entirely hidden from View.

Referring to the drawings, in which similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts, Figure 1 is a perspective view of a turn-down collar equipped with the invention and having a tie supported thereupon. Fig. 2 shows a tie drawn through and loosely supported by the holding device hereinafter described. Fig. 3 is a front elevational View of the necktie-holder. Fig. 4is a top edgeview thereof, and Fig. 5 is a sectional view on line 5 5 of Fig. 3.

Referring to the parts, A is a collar, and VB is the necktie to be worn therewith.

The necktie-holding device comprises the center plate 6, from which project laterally and rearwardly in curved lines the loops 7,

which loops are curved, as shown in Fig. 4,

so as to conform to the curvature of the neck of the wearer, and said loops are preferably formed integral with the central plate 6, the whole being stamped from sheet metal. Depending downwardly and rearwardly from the plate 6 are the securing-legs 8, forming a bifurcated extension of said central plate, which is adapted to slide over the shank of a collarbutton and be held from displacement by means of the head of said button, said bifurcated extension being formed integral with the central plate 6, as shown.

In practice thenecktie is carried through the loops 7 and back of the central plate 6, after which it is formed into any desired style of knot covering the central plate 6, after which the loops 7 are inserted under the flaps of the collar, and the bifurcated extension comprising the legs 8 is slipped over the front collar-button, whereby the device is securely held in position.

In the device the bifurcated extension 8 is curved rearwardly and downwardly, so as to support the center plate 6 in a forward position-that is, as far as possible from the neck of the wearer.

Having described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent,
